Description:
1 OVERVIEW
The measurements TASSATT, TASSSUCC and TASSFAIL should count incoming
inter BSC directed retries in addition to the current assignments and intra-BSC
directed retries.
The following subcounters shall be added to the measurement type 'Total number of
assignment attempts per cell per channel type' (TASSATT) :
No. of assignment attempts due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/F)
No. of assignment attempts due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/H)
The following subcounters shall be added to the measurement type 'Total number of
successful assignments per cell per channel type' (TASSSUCC) :
No. of successful assignments due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/F)
No. of successful assignments due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/H)
The following subcounters shall be added to the measurement type 'Total number of
assignment failures per cell, per cause, per channel type' (TASSFAIL) :
No. of failed assignments due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/F)
No. of failed assignments due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/H)

3 CUSTOMER BENEFIT / REASON FOR THE FEATURE
The operator is able to get more reliable statistics about the call setup success rate
and directed retry success rate with less effort in a much more easier way.
Additionally also in a multivendor BSS area it then possible to evaluate the above
formulas. These measurements are very important for network operation, network
planning and network optimisation.

4 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The measurements TASSATT, TASSSUCC and TASSFAIL should count incoming
inter BSC directed retries in addition to the current assignments and intra BSC
directed retries. The measurements should be extended in the following way:
Total no. of assignment attempts per cell per channel type (TASSATT)
Two more subcounters shall be added to count also incoming external directed
retries. The triggerevent must also be extended.
Trigger events : - receipt of a valid Assignment Request (MSC -> BSC)
- transmission of a Handover Commmand message
embedded in a Handover Request Acknowledge message
(BSC->MSC) in the context of an incoming inter BSC
directed retry (Handover Request with cause 'directed
retry received before)
Number of counters : 5
Counter type : integer
Unit : none
Counter sequence :
No. of assignment attempts (SDCCH preferred)
No. of assignment attempts (TCH/F preferred)
No. of assignment attempts (TCH/H preferred)
No. of assignment attempts due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/F
preferred)
No. of assignment attempts due to incoming external directed retry (TCH/H
preferred)
Total no. of successful assignments per cell per channel type (TASSSUCC)
Two more subcounters shall be added to count also incoming external directed
retries. The triggerevent must also be extended.
Trigger events : - transmission of an Assignment Complete (BSC -> MSC)
- transmission of a Handover Complete message
(BSC->MSC) in the context of an incoming inter BSC
directed (Handover Request with cause directed retry
received before)
Number of counters : 7
Counter type : integer
Unit : none
Counter sequence :
No. of successful assignments of SDCCHs
No. of successful assignments of TCH/Fs
No. of successful assignments of TCH/Hs
No. of successful assignments of redirected TCH/Fs
No. of successful assignments of redirected TCH/Hs
No. of successful assignments due to incoming external directed retry
(TCH/F)
No. of successful assignments due to incoming external directed retry
(TCH/H)
MASTERFILE: FRS_WW80.DOT / 19.11.1998 Page 5 of 8
Total no. of assignment failures per cell, per cause, per channel type
(TASSFAIL)
Two more subcounters shall be added to count also incoming external directed
retries. The triggerevent must also be extended.
Trigger events : - transmission of an Assignment Failure (BSC -> MSC)
- reception of Clear Command (MSC->BSC) in the context
of an incoming inter-BSC directed retry (Handover
Request with cause directed retry received before)
Number of counters : 17
Counter type : integer
Unit : none
Counter sequence :
SDCCH radio interface message failure
SDCCH radio interface failure - reversion to old channel
SDCCH no radio resource available
SDCCH directed retry
SDCCH all other causes
TCH/F radio interface message failure
TCH/F radio interface failure - reversion to old channel
TCH/F no radio resource available
TCH/F directed retry
TCH/F all other causes
TCH/H radio interface message failure
TCH/H radio interface failure - reversion to old channel
TCH/H no radio resource available
TCH/H directed retry
TCH/H all other causes
TCH/F incoming external directed retry
TCH/H incoming external directed retry
4.1 MMI Requirements
This feature is an extension of subcounters for existing measurements. Therefore
new MMI commands or parameters are not necessary.

5 FUNCTIONAL SPLIT AND ARCHITECTURAL ASPECTS
This feature is an extension of subcounters for existing measurements. Therefore
functional split and architectural aspects shall be done in the same way as the
existing measurements.
